Turner was hanged in the Jail yard
July last, aud on the scaffold
made another confession. in which he
said Patterson was an innocent man
and had nothing TO do with the crime.
Many people believed he lied IN the

went To the court of appeals and was
decided this morning, the sentence OF
the lower court being affirmed. The
